Why was the genetic information from the distantly related cormorant unusable for this research? why was it important for genetic comparison to find a closely related cormorant species?

species that are closely related will have more similarities in their genetic code than species that are distantly related. the close relationship can evolutionary scientists pick out the specific changes that occurred in the genetic code to give these birds flightless wings.

Species which are distantly related have fewer similarities in the genetic information present in them. Species that are closely related will have more similar genetic codes producing many similar proteins and share many genetic similarities. Hence, in order to understand about the specific changes which caused a certain feature to appear or disappear, one must compare it with species which are closely related rather than the ones which are distantly related.

cramming before a final is bad because it makes a student's stress level higher. students who embrace cramming to get through a final exam week find themselves struggling to perform consistently, once the brain adjusts to prolonged sleep deprivation.

fumikage isn't really a bird, and tsuyu does have teeth. tsuyu has a transformation quirk which still allows her to be partially human. otherwise we'd have a large frog running around. fumikage has teeth because again, he isn't a bird. his head was a quirk mixture if i'm correct.
